How did we get from this to what's around today?

Apart from John Belushi dying, what influenced your selection of 1982?The very question I've been asking since 1982: what the fu** happened?
Hair Metal is an unfairly maligned genre and many of the bands associated with it were already maturing their sound by the time grunge made it big and killed it off. There's some very good rock music to come out of that late 80s to mid 90s period from groups that were already seen as on the out, probably better than the stuff released when popular.
That was the year when I - at age 13 - first got hooked on music big time (if you don't count getting into Elvis when I was 8). So I started with very early Rolling Stones, then The Who, Hendrix, Dylan, Zeppelin, a lot of the old blues guys...and it went on from there. So I was exploring all these musical giants in my own time, while hearing what was in the charts at the time at school, and I would ask myself (frequently) what happened between the early to mid '70s to the early to mid '80s for such a dramatic decline in the quality of the music that's being played on the radio?Apart from John Belushi dying, what influenced your selection of 1982?
That Small Faces video was from the '60s. At a guess either 1966 or '67.That video does not look like 1982. Going by their clothes it looks late 1960's or early 70's. I think I remember Lou Gramm doing a cover of this song. Not sure I ever seen this video before.
While I don't put them with the acts I truly despise, I've never understood what it is about them that so many people love. As far as their musicianship goes, they're clearly talented, but I find most of their music over-long, monotonous and, most of all, boring. I've tried to get into them but I just can't.Cannot stand Pink Floyd but so many people of so many generations seem to love them.
I remember I was overseas late at night and needed to get a taxi ride for about a hour ride. The taxi driver asked it it ok if he plays a Pink Floyd album on the journey. I tell him fu** no or you lose me as a customer right now. I kind of felt an a-hole but f’ed if I was going to pay to suffer to music I cannot stand for that long a trip.
I do not get why in 60's I find some videos in black and white and others in colour.That Small Faces video was from the '60s. At a guess either 1966 or '67.
Might have to check the movie out to see what that is.While I don't put them with the acts I truly despise, I've never understood what it is about them that so many people love.

Your taxi ride reminded me of The Dude's in The Big Lebowski.
Synthesizers ?what happened between the early to mid '70s to the early to mid '80s for such a dramatic decline in the quality of the music that's being played on the radio?
That's why I said 1982. In actual fact I think it was far earlier than that.
You are on drugs. Or if your not maybe you should be, I ....dunno...your not right.Cannot stand Pink Floyd but so many people of so many generations seem to love them.

ha ha. Most people that big into Pink Floyd are on the stuff.You are on drugs. Or if your not maybe you should be, I ....dunno...your not right.
Pink Floyd were great when they worked co-operatively to make some memorable music.ha ha. Most people that big into Pink Floyd are on the stuff.
Those into Pink Floyd are not right, the way I see it.
I just find them yuk.Pink Floyd were great when they worked co-operatively to make some memorable music.
Individually they were very ordinary.
Oh come on.There is no such thing as hair metal. Anyone who was around at the time, does not use that term.
I do not get why in 60's I find some videos in black and white and others in colour.
Example. I seen this recently from 1967. Never knew it was a Bee Gees song.
Same year in colour for another song.
What places did not have colour tv production in late 1960's?
It's one of the funniest films of all time.Might have to check the movie out to see what that is.

Nah, they were already around. It's more a collective dumbing down of popular music. And the more and more people hear it and get used to it the more it's accepted as the norm.Synthesizers ?

I believe it's more likely that you could blame Roger Linn in the 80's with his programmable drum machine that used samples and his midi sampler machine that allowed sampling and sequencing. That led music to be produced by people who couldn't play an instrument. Sampling and sequencing became the foundation for Hip Hop and that lead toNah, they were already around.
